ANA: Advocating for Nurses, Strengthening Healthcare

The American Nurses Association (ANA) is focused on advancing policies that address nurses’ critical challenges and improve healthcare for all.  Our non-partisan approach is not a limitation—it is our strength. It empowers us to maintain open dialogue and foster constructive engagement with policymakers across the spectrum. By standing firmly in service to nurses and upholding the profession's highest values, we secure a seat at the table and ensure nurses’ voices are heard where decisions are made. That’s how we can live up to our mission and influence access to care, workplace protections, and workforce development.  We collaborate with professional associations, healthcare organizations, and advocacy groups to amplify nurses’ voices and address shared priorities. As we finalize our advocacy agenda, we are focused on practical strategies to tackle the issues we all care passionately about and that can show real-world impact.  ANA is committed to ensuring that nurses always have a seat at the table and a voice in shaping the future of healthcare across America and beyond.  Tina McRae-Phelps Director of Membership & Marketing American Nurses Association
